What People Are Saying About Gravitas
The Editor
Joshua Hinsdale

In Short – Chef Scott Tycer, owner of Houston's Pic restaurant, and Executive Chef Jason Gould opened Gravitas in the 1930s-era warehouse and storefront where Antone's Famous Po'Boys once operated. The building was completely renovated and modernized, though with a respectful nod to the past. The menu features classic hearty dishes, including pan-fried trout, smoked duck salad, braised barbecue sandwiches, grilled pork chops, and herb risotto.

HORRIBLE - Rude Staff
by Chops at Citysearch
Took my staff into Gravitas last week for our Christmas Party. The place was empty and there were a couple of people in the bar area. The staff told me I could not sit in or near the bar because someone rented it. Although there were only a couple of couples there. The staff was so rude! If you are looking for a great dinner hit Vencent's a few blocks up the road from Gravitas. Their staff is great and you can sit where you want!
- Cons: Rude Staff

nice idea, with room for improvement
by operalatte at Citysearch
I went to Gravitas by suggestion of some friends of mine. The waiter, although very nice, did not come around very much. We had a few food allergies that we described at length and watched him diligently writing them down. AFter too long of a wait between apps, then salad, then entree, we were disappointed to notice that the allergy info had not been communicated! We then had to wait another twenty more minutes to be served! All in all we stayed there for three hours, and not just because of the wonderful conversation. Lamb was extremely fatty, but the smashed potatoes, fish, salads, and bread pudding were fantastic. Just needs some tightening up in the management dept, i think... More organization, but the food was relatively wonderful.
- Pros: Some of the food was shockingly good
- Cons: some of it was average
